Opened in 1991, Max a Mia was named “Best New Restaurant” by Connecticut Magazine in its first year, and “top-grossing restaurant in its size” by Restaurant Hospitality. The restaurant is now in the good hands of Executive Chef Bob Peterson, who has brought an exciting new energy to the restaurant.

Max A Mia is the quintessential Italian experience in the Greater Hartford area. It also continues to garner awards and accolades. Featuring a traditional Italian menu, it utilizes an authentic brick oven that produces stone pies with unmatched flavor. Traditional veal, pork and pasta dishes, as well as inventive risotto offerings, set the mood for desserts including tiramisu and white chocolate polenta cake.

An extraordinary and comfortable 25-foot granite bar has elevated Max A Mia to the social place in the Farmington Valley. The dining room features wood and tile, warmly lit by custom fixtures to create a sophisticated and luxurious – yet friendly, family environm

We are long time patrons and were meeting friends for lunch. We had a lot to catch up on and Max was the perfect place. Low noise level on a weekday afternoon, excellent pumpkin soup and kudos to our server, Genesis.

Meals were excellent. Service was a little slow probably due to how busy it was for a Monday night. However the server herself was excellent and attentive.

Acoustics are poor. Very hard to converse with friends across a table. Food was good but inability to hear what a friend was saying ruined what would have been an enjoyable evening.
